The cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
A sodium ion with the symbol Na+ has 10 electrons. Sodium normally has 11 electrons, but when it loses one electron to form a Na+ ion, it has 10 electrons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
For an neutral element that has the same number of electrons and protons, the element with 11 electrons is Na, sodium.
11 protons and 10 electrons
Na+ will be a sodium atom that has lost an electron. Normally in atoms the amount of protons and electrons are equal, when you see a plus or minus charge on an atom its due to the loss or gain of electrons.
Any neutral atom or ion of sodium always has 11 protons in its nucleus.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
The number of electrons is 10.
Na has 11 protons and 12 neutrons and 11 electrons.
The symbol for sodium with 11 protons and 10 electrons is Na+. The plus sign indicates that the sodium atom has lost one electron, resulting in a positive charge.
The no. of Protons remains unchanged.
Answer: 28 protons 28 electrons; the number of neutrons depends on each isotope of Na and Cl considered.
A sodium ion with the symbol Na+ has 10 electrons. Sodium normally has 11 electrons, but when it loses one electron to form a Na+ ion, it has 10 electrons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
